Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["McLay, Molly Margaret" <>]

We have had face-to-face, peer-led workshops for an undergrad population of 7000-9000 incoming students annually for the last 20 years. Our attendance rate last year was 95%, despite no real enforcement mechanism (other than weekly emails). I’m happy to share further ideas with anyone who would like to talk further! The program is FYCARE (First Year Campus Acquaintance Rape Education) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

HI Sara,

 

I hope you are doing well.  When I was at the university, we too found it to be difficult to get participation from students through the online forums.  I know it takes far more time, but I found it to be helpful to have face to face presentations to students through FYE courses, General interest meetings for student groups and targeted classes through collaboration by the professors.  I also found that telling the students about the online program in person helped increase participation rates.  It is one of those topics, that I find it helps when we highlight the importance and allow a dialogue about the topic.  Also, I was fortunate to have undergraduate interns who helped spread the message about the importance of the trainings. 

 

Best of luck.  Warmly,  

Jessica Krohn, LMSW

Dear All,

 

Our Title IX Coordinator and committee are really struggling with student participation in our Title IX educational efforts. We use Haven for incoming students with some success, but have tried online modules for our existing students with little to no participation (the University has chosen not to make them mandatory). Currently the modules have information on dynamics of SA, DV, and stalking, reporting, and policy. Does anyone have any suggestions/experiences in creating successful programs? Thanks, Sara
